Venus seems to have played a part in household or private religion of
some Romans. Julius Caesar claimed her as an ancestor (Venus Genetrix);
possibly a long-standing family tradition, certainly one adopted as such
by his heir Augustus. Venus statuettes have been
found in quite ordinary household shrines (lararia). In fiction,
Petronius places one among the
Lares
of the freedman
Trimalchio's household shrine.

Born as Valeria to Diocletian and
Prisca, she married Galerius in 293,
when her father elevated him to the position of Caesar. Prior to this
marriage, clearly organized to strengthen the bonds between the two
emperors, Galerius had to divorce his first wife,
Valeria Maximilla.

Galeria was raised to the title of
Augusta and Mater Castrorum in
November 308. Since she gave no child to Galerius, Galeria adopted her
husband's illegittimate son,
Candidianus, as her own.

When Galerius died, in 311,
Licinius was entrusted with the care of
Valeria and her mother Prisca. The two women, however, fled from
Licinius to
Maximinus Daia, whose daughter was
betrothed to Candidianus. After a short time, Valeria refused the
marriage proposal of Maximinus, who arrested and confined her in
Syria and confiscated her properties.
At the death of Maximinus, Licinius ordered the death of both women.
Valeria fled, hiding for a year, until she was found in
Thessaloniki. She was captured by the
mob, beheaded in the central square of the city, and her body thrown in
the sea. Canonized as christian saint with her mother (see
Saint Alexandra).
